Who else here always buys their other half's stuff last?

Normally I buy his first. I haven't started buying for this year yet though and we're thinking of only buying very small presents this year as we're supposed to be saving for a house move and we don't really need anything.

I've only just realised that both my posts on the last page are virtually identical. \o/

xmas, or specifically the run up to it is a shit time for me generally anyway. I'm always working my arse off so I can actually have some time off over the break / make sure everyone gets paid etc with nothing to worry about for a good few months.

I bought almost everything in one big hit on Play about three weeks ago. I now need to get a couple of CDs, give my missus a bit of money towards some stuff she's bought for herself, and that's me done. In fact, I've gotta stop in Asda on my way home tonight, so I might just see if I can get the CD there instead.

I've also bought two games which are to be my presents (MGS4 & LBP); I need to get the money back from my girlfriend and mother.

Since I got married we've sort of either gone for big joint presents (basically something for both of us to spoil ourselves a bit) or mini small pressies, lots of sentimental stuff. Usually they get left till last because we're never apart (even at work), and as great as that is, it can be a right ballache when you've got to sneak out and pick something up in a swift lunch break or whatever.

I'm ludicrously easy to buy for though so I reckon my other half gets the better half of the deal as she's as picky as heck!

OMFG! That is bloody awesome. I found an original copy of Michael Jackson Bad on Cassette Tape at a car boot sale on the weekend ) Perfect condition. Only 4 quid!! Got some Timmy Mallet giant sunglasses too.
